Ratings & Reviews for DAP Flexible Floor Patch and Leveler Gray Waterproof , Patching compound 1 Gallon(s)

Ideal for use under hardwood flooring

This appears to be the best product to use for floor leveling under solid hardwood. It hardens to a hard putty which still has a little give to take nails or floor movement. For leveling purposes, you have to mix in a small amount of water to make it easier to work with. It comes as a paste like consistency which may work for patching holes but is too thick for spreading over a large area. It does shrink some after drying so multiple coats may be needed... I think this is the reason why they...

Good leveler for uneven wood subfloor

Trowels out just fine, water clean up is a bonus. It seems to have set up just fine, I did not experience it not setting up as some have said.

I am buying this product again and again.

My only alternatives were cement self levelers. Having experience with wood, the idea of placing a water based product on wood sub floors did not appeal to me. I decided to try this product. While the application is similar to mudding drywall in that it does not flow, with a little time and effort with a long trowel I have been able to smooth a level surface. When I used it in areas of 1/4 inch or slightly better, the drying time took 2 days, (interior application 70 degrees). Up to 1/4 inch it ...

Worked Great!

This product is great for leveling under nail-down hardwood flooring. It tends to dry out a little on the shelf, so it typically needs to be tempered with a tiny amount of water. I used it to fill around layers of SurePly to correct a major subfloor dip at a low joist.

Okay for thickness less than 1/8”

The container says you can lay this down up to 1/4” thick. My experience was that it hardened within 24 hours if applied less than 1/8” thick. In some areas I applied 1/4” thickness 48 hours ago and it still feels like pay doh. Do yourself a favor a buy MAPEI floor patch like I eventually did after I scraped out this play doh.

Only Thing For OSB

There isn't much out there for leveling OSB subflooring. I've used this is multiple rooms, in small spots and larger areas. For the larger areas I've set out shims to give me something to level up to and it's worked pretty well. If you spread it in thin layers as advised it spreads pretty easily and can be feathered at the edges -- I usually use my finger to flatten out the outer edge. Because it stays flexible this stuff won't create a crunchy lump under laminate flooring if you don't get it qu...

That Lowe’s carries DAP in that size.

You are the only one in the area that carries it, lol.

Nice product

Nice texture out of container. Spreads to near feather finish.
